Sending Oneself to Coventry...

On Being Quiet...

Today






Today I'm flying low, and I'm
not saying a word.

I'm letting all of the voodoos of ambition
sleep.



The world goes on as it must,
the bees in the garden rumbling a little,

the fish leaping, the gnats getting eaten
And so forth.



But I'm taking the day off.
Quiet as a feather

I hardly move though really I'm travelling
a terrific distance



Stillness. One of the doors
into the temple








Mary Oliver
